Branson blues? Challenges face Virgin Galactic and Virgin Orbit

Billionaire Richard Branson is facing some troubles with his two spaceflight companies.

Shareholders in Virgin Galactic launched a class action lawsuit with numerous allegations about the space tourism company, which grounded its VSS Unity SpaceShipTwo vehicle and its carrier plane, VMS Eve, for maintenance and upgrade work after a high-profile flight in July 2021 starring Branson himself. The two vehicles are likely to start flying again in early 2023, company officials said recently.
